Under Indian law, you have the right to seek protection from domestic violence. You can file a complaint with the police or a magistrate under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Additionally, you can seek legal advice from a lawyer to explore options like separation, divorce, or other legal remedies.
